Historical talk set on book about post-World War II San Rafael

Author and librarian Jocelyn Moss and contributor Bruce Schwarze will discuss "Modern San Rafael: 1940-2000" at 11 a.m. Nov. 2 in the Livermore Pavilion at the Marin Art and Garden Center in Ross. The book, a collection of photos of the dramatic changes to San Rafael after World War II, is the follow-up to the Marin History Museum's first volume, "Early San Rafael."

A donation of $5 will be requested. A reception follows the event, sponsored by the Moya Library — Ross Historical Society as part of its First Friday Forenoon programs.
